I love it when I have a story to share of a recent experience and that is just what I have in store for you today. 
My husband baked my sourdough starter (that I have tenderly babied for a month to get going) to 300 degrees ... wowza. 
Now, I could have harshly reacted and expressed disappointment on to him and justified every second of my behavior, and I didn't. 
What if we didn't do what we could justify, and instead chose to do what could lead to better interactions and truly teaching others how to treat us through the way we treat them?
Ironically, I did the same thing to my sourdough starter the very next day and that is when the power of my chosen response really clicked for me. 
Listen along and reflect on where and how you'd like to intentionally shift your chosen responses. 
The REVIVE Retreat enrollment closes on January 31 and this is my LAST self-discovery and healing retreat for close to two years. Get yourself to this transformative event with us. 
I am in your corner and cheering you on like a proud mama!

Have you ever had a "I'm going to spray him with the hose! That'll teach him..." kind of moment where you feel so, so frustrated at the choice your child made and the reaction is to do something that could be pretty mean?!
I have, that's what I'm sharing here today. 
The mean and negative thoughts that swirled my mind. 
The complete urge to grab my son and spray him down. 
The clear display of anger on my face. 
All of that going on and what I chose to do instead that I hope plants a seed in your mind and more hope in your heart for what is possible for YOU and YOUR motherhood. 
This is good work we are doing. 
If you need MORE help getting your mindset into a place that can slow the moments down and see your actions aligned with the mother you want to be, then you need to journal. 
Use the Alignment Journaling Course to start a daily 5 minute practice that equips you to do better than before. 
All my best,

My youngest son recently burnt his hand to the point of second degree burns covering his palms and fingertips, and I immediately knew it was something I could have prevented. The mom guilt was intense and the night was long for us. 
I'm sharing the story here in the hopes of helping you navigate mom guilt that comes in recognizing our part and how to learn lessons that make you BETTER and allow the feeling of guilt to pass in it's good time.
